You just googled or asked a chatbot to find you an article and haven't actually read it, have you?
#1 literally says
> For people with healthy kidneys, higher protein intake is generally safe.
#2 addresses the issues of some specific diets ("very-low-carb or ketogenic diets") that "may be low in fiber-rich carbohydrates". I did not advocate for "very-low-carb or ketogenic diets". Also, it doesn't say anything about potential harms of protein itself.
#3 "It Can Crowd Out Other Nutrients"
Again, no mention of supposed "harms of too much protein", only harms of "too little everything else". I never suggested to go crazy and stop eating other foods.
#4 deals with "type of protein" that "may be just as important as the amount of protein" and is irrelevant to your argument.
#5
> A very high-protein diet, particularly one high in animal foods, can increase the risk of kidney stones, especially for people with a history of these conditions or those who don’t drink enough water.
Well, just drink enough water then. Also, I was talking about generally healthy people. I am not qualified to discuss diet choices of people "with a history of these conditions".
#6 "Protein Bars and Powders Can Backfire"
I never suggested any of this. Also, this doesn't address supposed harms of protein itself, so it is irrelevant again.
No, I'm interested in nutrition, I backed up the risks with a link. Complex carbs and simple carbs are not the same (your original dismissal). Fiber is important for everyone, there's studies that show too little fiber is the cause of a lot of nutrition issues (possibly including IBS, which is a strange relation). Too much protein is not healthy and has risks (despite your unbacked claim). Protein rich unprocessed food is fine, it'll come with fiber.
